If all pharmacy schools closed today and not a single pharmD was given, how many years until pharmacists are in demand?

I think we average about 4-5 people for a mixed-day-shift position. We’re picky and usually included in that pool are our internal residents who opted not to do a PGY-2 (some years that is zero, some years it is both) and returning interns who completed PGY-1 elsewhere.

Our starting pay and benefits package is average for the area (new grads start at ~$75/hr for days, experienced candidates (clin specs) can probably negotiate up to $90 to start.

Night shift is always difficult to find good candidates (lots of retail escapees apply, though

Also...LOL to people who think dropping salary by $20/hr makes a huge difference in total compensation to an employee. Lol and rofl

You're in California right because in NYC, hospitals are paying new grads in the $50s/hr.

Wow, really? That has to include shift differential

Yes. I believe the base rate is $66/hr and then a 10% differential and then a $2/hr bonus for having PharmD.

Well when the poverty level is like $105k/yr and median home price is 750k...you don’t feel so rich.

Those that do really well use inherited property with an inherited tax basis. Not exactly fair for a newcomer but such is life :/

Depends what field they’re in and what their cost basis is (ie kids, no kids, renter, etc...)

Tech has been there but all the money pouring into digital media production (streaming) lately means there’s tons of work in those fields.

Funny I have friends who relocated from the Bay Area to Orange County and said it was much cheaper living there. What the hell topsy turvy world is this?.
